This invention relates to the preparation of corrosion inhibitors and has particular reference to corrosion inhibitor compositions useful in connection with the protection of ferrous metals against corrosion.

A primary object of the present'invention' is to provide a novel class of organic amines useful, inter alia, as corrosion inhibitors or as components of corrosion inhibitor compositions.

A further object of the present invention is to provide novel corrosion inhibitor compounds or compositions constituting or containing aryl stearyl amines.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a novel process for producing amine-type corrosion inhibitors.

Other objects and advantages of this invention it is believed will be readily apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof.

Briefly, this invention comprehends within its scope the discovery of the preparation of aryl stearic amines, and the further discovery that such compounds constitute novel and improved corrosion inhibitors for ferrous metals. The aryl stearic amines used in the present invention are prepared by first converting an aryl stearic acid (preferably prepared by alkylating an aromatic compound with oleic acid or a derivative thereof in the presence of an acid-activated clay catalyst) to the chloride, then converting the aryl stearyl chloride to the amide, then converting the amide to the nitrile whieh in turn is converted to the amine.

The amines of this invention which have been found esaeeiail effective in corrosion inhibiting composisass may be produced by first alkylating aryl compeas-as with unsaturated fatty acids and then convertlag the 'aeidto an amine and can be represented by the renewing rarmula; Y

with an unsaturated fatty acid. Aryl compounds Within the scope of this inventionare benzene, naphthaleneand 'ahthracenc. The'aryl radical may be substituted with lower alkyl groups such as. methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl pentyl and h ex'yl. In addition,- the aryl radical may be substituted with other nondeleterious substituents such as hydroxyl groups and halides such as chloride, etc. Examples of suitable substituted aryl groups are anisole, phenol, cresol, chlorobenzene and naphthOl. l I P The unsaturated fatty acids which are suitable in pre' paring'the co'rrosion inhibitor component of this composition include those unsaturated fatty acids having from about 10 to about 24 carbon atoms, the preferred acids for corrosion inhibition containing 14 to 18 carbon atoms. The fatty acid may contain one or more double bonds, although those containing one double bond are preferred in preparing the corrosion inhibitor. Examples of fatty acids which may be used in this invention are undecylenic, oleic, palmitoleic, petroselenic, eurcic and linoleic.

The aryl groups are normally present on carbon atoms which are at least 6 carbons away from the carboxyl or amine group, being introduced in the vicinity of the double bond. See Smith et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry, Mar. 1965, Page 885. Although the exact point at which the aryl group is attached will vary with reaction conditions and the exact nature of the aryl compound and unsaturated fatty acid used, essentially no substitution occurs on the 2-carbon atom and carbon atoms adjacent thereto. In the case of oleic acid, no substitution occurs until the 6-carbon atom. Because of the predominance of aryl substitution at the carbon atoms adjacent to the double bond, the 9- and l0-carbon atoms in oleic acid, the aryl substituted oleic acids are commonly referred to as C9-l0 aryl oleic acids and the amines derived therefrom are described as C9-1O amines.

The following specific examples are illustrative of the compositions and process of the present invention, but it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limitedto the specific details thereof. The oleic acid used in the examples contain small amounts of C and C unsaturated acid.

The excess thionyl'chloride was removed in vacuo at the aspirator and the residual oil dissolved in an equal volume of ether. This ethereal solution was added over a twohour period to 200 ml of cold concentrated ammonia maintaining vigorous agitation. Enough ether was added to keep the mixture fluid. Upon completion of the addition saturated aqueous sodium chloride was added to break the emulsion. The ethereal layer was separated and washed with dilute hydrochloric acid, 10% sodium bicarbonate, water and finally saturated sodium chloride. The ethereal extract was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the ether evaporated leaving 99g of the brown oily amide.

The above amide (89g) was dissolved in 150 ml of benzene and 70g of phosphorous pentoxide was added. The mixture was stirred and heated at reflux for 15 hours. The mixture was poured into ice water. The organic layer was separated and the water layer extracted with ether. The organic extracts were combined and washed repeatedly with water until neutral. After drying over magnesium sulfate the solvent and solid were removed leaving 81g of a brown oil which was submitted to vacuum distillation. Listed are the boiling points, weights and refractive indexes at 22C: 1 147198, 2.5g; (2) l98226, 2.19, 1.4945; (3) 226-239,

residue.

Fractions 3 and 4 (63g), naphthylstearonitrile, were combined and dissolved in 50 ml of absolute ethanol. The solution was added slowly to a suspension of 28g of sodium in 100 ml of boiling toluene while maintaining rapid stirring. After complete addition of the nitrile had been effected 50 ml of ethanol was added and then ml of water. The layers were separated and the aqueous alcoholic phase extracted with benzene. The benzene and the solvents removed leaving 50g of residual oil which was submitted to vacuum distillation at 0.5 mm. Listed are the boiling point, weight and refractive index ofthe fractions: l) l75215, 1.0g, 1.5017; (2) 215240, 36g, 1.5108; (3) 7.0g residue. Fraction 2 had a neutral equivalent of 466 whereas theory for naphthylstearyl amine is 391. The infrared spectrum of this material showed the presence of amide contaminants.

Fraction 2 was dissolved in 50 ml of absolute ethanol and a solution of 5.6g (0.044 mole) of oxalic and dissolved in a minimum amount of ethanol was added. A white crystallene precipitate formed immediately. The solid was collected, after chilling the mixture to 0, and washed with cold acetone. The oxalate was slurried with 10% sodium hydroxide overnight. The oil which appeared was extracted with ether. The ethereal layer was washed repeatedly with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The ethereal extract was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the ether evaporated. The residual oil was distilled at 0.8 mm. Yield 21g of naphthylstearyl amino (bp 220-227; n 1.5122; neutral equivalent, 410).

EXAMPLE 2 Phenyl Stearyl Amine Phenylstearic acid (50g, obtained from the Barlow Chemical Co.) and thionyl chloride (33g) were refluxed on the steam bath for 3 hours. Excess thionyl chloride was removed at aspirator pressure, and the residual liquid was dissolved in an equal volume of ether and added to chilled 28% aqueous ammonia (100 ml) with vigorous stirring. During the addition (0.75 hr.) portions (50 ml) of ether were added at intervals to keep the mixture fluid.

After addition was complete, the mixture was stirred one-half hour and the layers separated. The organic layer was washed with water, dilute hydrochloric acid and salt solution until the washings were neutral. The extract was then dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered from the drying agent and the solvent removed to give 40g of a brown waxy low-melting solid. The amide (40 g) was dissolved in benzene (100 ml), phosphorous pentoxide (30 g) was added and the mixture refluxed for 18 hours. The mixture was extracted with ether. washed with water, dilute sodium bicarbonate, salt solution and drived over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, leaving 37g of a dark brown oil. The oil was distilled in vacuo, bp 140-l900.05 mm to yield 31g of a dark brown oil which was redistilled into 3 fractions: (1) bp 20-178/0.06m (2gm) n 1.488l; (2) by 178190/0.06m (26gm) n 1.4870; (3) bp l90l95/0.06 mrn (2gm) n 1.4880.

The nitrile (cut 2, 20gm) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (30 ml) and added slowly to sodium metal (9gm) in refluxing toluene (35 ml). The mixture became viscous and more toluene was added. After addition was complete, ethanol was added, followed by water. The mixture was poured into Water and extracted with ether. The ether extract was washed, dried and distilled in vacuo into 3 fractions: 1 bp 20l73/0. 1 3 mm (2gm); (2) l73l87/0.13 mm (l4gm); (3) l87l90/O.13 mm (lg). Neutral equivalent of cut 2, 405. The amine was purified via its oxalate salt (Exam' ple l), and on distillation had bp l65l70/O.1 mm, n 1.4872, neutral equivalent 384.

EXAMPLE 3 Anisole Stearyl Amine Anisole (162g, 1.5 mole), methyl oleate (85g, 0.3 mole) and Filtrol GR 13 (30g) were heated at reflux for 4 hours. The mixture was filtered and the clay washed with benzene and acetone. The solvent and anisole were removed in vacuo and the residual oil submitted to vacuum distillation at 0.1 mm to yield (i) 10g, l00175, n 1.4633 and (ii) 69g, 180200,

Fraction (ii) was methyl 9, [l0]- anisylstearate, 50g of which was submitted to saponification with alcoholic potassium hydroxide. The free acid was liberated, extracted with ether and recovered.

The recovered acid was heated on the steam bath for three hours with thionyl chloride (35g), dissolved in an equal volume of ether and added to excess cold concentrated aqueous ammonia. The organic layer was washed, dried and the solvent removed. The residue was dissolved in an equal volume of benzene, and phosphorous pentoxide (30g) was added in 3gm portions over a period of four hours. The mixture was refluxed 15 hours, water was added to decompose excess P 0 the organic layer washed and dried. The solvent was removed and the residue distilled in vacuo to give 30g of a yellow viscous oil, bp l220/0.2 mm. This oil was redistilled in vacuo. The fraction (22g) having bp l202/0.1 mm, 11 1.4920 was 9, [l0]- anisylstearonitrile.

Reduction to the amine was accomplished by dissolving the nitrile (16gm) in absolute ethanol (10g) and adding slowly to a mixture of metallic sodium (3.7g) in refluxing toluene (35 ml). After addition, 16 ml absolute ethanol was added. followed by 10 ml water. Upon cooling the organic layer was separated, washed, dried and solvent removed to yield l6gm of risidual yellow-red oil. The amine was purified via its oxalate salt as in Example 1 (bp 180/0.06 mm, n l.4922, neutral equivalent 394, theoretical 376).

EXAMPLE 4 Tolyl Stearyl Amine The tolystearic acid used in this example was prepared as follows: Toluene 1389, 1.5 mole), oleic acid (84.6g, 03 mole) and Filtrol GR 58 (10g) were placed in a bomb cup. The bomb was assembled and flushed with nitrogen, then heated at 188-200C for 2 hours. At the end of this time the bomb was cooled, and the material was filtered. The filter cake was washed with benzene. The filtrate and washings were combined and evaporated at aspirator pressure. The residual oil was distilled in vacuo giving five fractions. Listed are boiling point, weight and refractive index: (1) 59l6lC/0.7 mm, 2.3g, n 1.4725; (2) 161-198C/0.7 mm, 29.2g; (3) 19522()C/0.5 mm, 5.4g; (4) 220235C/0.5 mm, 37.2g, n l.49l3; and (5) residue, 19.6g, n l.4965. Fraction (4) was 9, [101-p-tolylstearic acid. Neutral equivalent calculated: 374.5. Found: 368. The yield was 34.7% based on oleic acid.

Tolylstearyl amine was prepared as follows: 9, tolyl-stearic acid (g) was heated with thionyl chloride 14g) on the steam bath for about four hours. Excess thionyl chloride was removed with as aspirator, the residue was dissolved in an equal volume of ether and added to chilled 28% aqueous ammonia (50 ml). The organic layer was separated, washed, dried and the solvent removed to yield 19g of a dark brown oil. This oil was then treated similarly to the other examples; viz, with phosphorous pentoxide, followed by reduction of the crude nitrile to yield l5gm of crude amine. The amine, when purified through the oxalate salt and distilled in vacuo (bp l55l 70/0.06 mm, I1 l .4878, neutral equivalent 381). The aryl stearly amines of the present invention are useful as corrosion inhibitors for ferrous metals, such as for example when added in small amounts (preferably or 50 parts per million, generally less than 1% by volume) to fuel oil, drilling mud compositions and the like, or when used as a metal coating. Thus, the compounds were each evaluated in a standard humidity cabinet text. In carrying out this test, 25 and 50 ppm solutions of each aryl stearyl amine in methylene chloride were prepared. Steel test panels were cleaned and weighed, dipped into the solutions and slowly removed, allowing the solvent to evaporate and the compound to form a protective coating. The coated panels were then held in the humidity cabinet for 5 days under conditions of 105F, 100% relative humidity. Under the test conditions, the naphthyl stearyl amine exhibited a clear superiority to several commercially available amine-type inhibitors, and the other aryl stearyl amines were of almost equal effectiveness as compared to the best commercially available material.

EXAMPLE 5 The corrosion inhibition of five different amines was tested. The testing procedure is set forth below. The phenylstearyl amine was prepared in accordance with Example 2 of this application. Oleyl amine and octadecyl amine were commercially obtained from Armmour lndustrial Chemical Company and purified by distillation. Beta-methylphenethyl amine was prepared in accordance with Example I of Suter U.S. Pat. No. 2,441,518. lO-methyl-lO-phenyl-decylamine was prepared from phenyl undecanoic acid.

Cold-rolled 18 gage steel sheets, purchased from Ducommun Metals & Supply Co. (4890 South Alameda Street, Los Angeles, Calif. 90054). are cut into A X 2 inch specimens, cleaned and degreased by rubbing with a damp cloth, then rinsing with acetone and methylene chloride. These specimens are weighed individually to thenearest 0. 1mg, then stored in a dessiccator. All handling after degreasing is by means of forceps and clamps. At no time are the specimens allowed to come in contact with the skin.

The test solution, made up of 200g of 10% aqueous HCl and 200g of a benzene solution containing a known amount of the-inhibitor, is placed in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask. A steel specimen is mounted on a glass holder and lowered to the flask bottom (away from the center to clear the magnetic bar). The glass holder, in turn, is immobilized against the neck of the flask with a plug of glass wool. No condenser is needed because loss by evaporation is negligible. The stirrer is started, and its speed adjusted until the liquid layers are emulsified. Occasionally, a stirrer motor will overheat and cause the temperature of the flask to rise. Any heat exchange between the stirrer motor and flask must be minimized by either placing insulation under the flask or lifting the flask away from the stirrer, or both. The test is completed after 5 hours, and the panel is rinsed under tap water, dried'and reweighed.

Corrosion rate, calculated from the weight loss data, is expressed in milligrams per square decimeter per day (24 hours), abbreviated mdd. Inhibition is calculated as percentage of reduction. in weight loss based on uninhibited panels:

mdd= 1.02 X (Weight Loss, mg)

W Mdd of Uninhibited panel (blank) Inhibition W, W) /W,, where W Mdd of inhibited panel.

The amount of corrosion inhibition for each compound at a concentration of 50 ppm is set forth in the table below.

Bituminous dispersions or emulsions are generally prepared by dispersing molten bitumen, such as asphalt, in or with water in the presence of an emulsifying agent, to form a cationic, anionic or nonionic dispersion depending upon the nature of the emulsifying agent. The cationic and anionic emulsion dispersions are much more common that the nonionic dispersions. Generally such dispersions must meet five important criteria, namely stability, demulsibility, bitumen content, viscosity and the ability to adhere to aggregate under operating conditions. The last requirement is particularly important and significant as bitumen dispersions, especially asphalt emulsions, are notoriously poor in adhesion properties and even the best of them generally have only a limited range of utilities.

It has been discovered that certain amines and diamines derived from the phenylstearyl amines of this invention effect substantial improvement in the adhesion of bitumen binder to aggregate surface in bitumen dispersions.

EXAMPLE 6 Exemplary oil-in-water type dispersions were formulated and evaluated. The basic formulation was an asphalt based drilling fluid having the following composition by weight:

room temperature for minutes. The coated mass was then immersed in 300 grams of water and, after immersion for 1 hour, an estimation of the percent coating that remained on the sand was recorded. Results are shown in Table I.

In text No. 2 (for adhesion ability) 100 grams of mesh Ottawa Sand was weighed into 300 ml of water. To the water was added 20 grams of the formulation being tested. The entire mass was agitated for 3 minutes, allowed to settle and remain static for 30 minutes, and then an estimate of the percent coating obtained upon the sand was recorded. Results are shown in Table I.

These emulsions can be prepared without the addition of stearic acid by undemeutralizing the amines with acetic acid, but a higher emulsifier level is required. Based on these emulsions, the HLB of phenylstearyl duomeen acetate is about 13-14 and the HBL of phenylstearyl amine is about 12.

The derivatives of the phenylstearyl amines of the present invention are superior fabric softeners as indicated in US. Pat. No. 3,505,221, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The phenylstearyl amine of the present invention has a melting point at about 0F. compared to straight stearyl amines which melt at a temperature in excess of 70F.
